Mom Com (w. Director and Cast Q&A)

Mom Com is a charming comedy about a once-successful writer and overwhelmed mom racing to finish a script before a looming deadline. As she writes, her fictional heroine Emily comes to life in a colorful rom-com world- and when Mommy struggles, Emily feels it too. As their realities begin to collide in magical and unexpected ways, the two meet through imaginative musical numbers, and Emily helps Mommy rediscover her voice, reclaim her story, and find her way back to herself. Written and directed by Aubrey Arnason – the Mom Com movie is a celebration of moms everywhere.
